Day 4
















Today we left the Arenal/La Fortuna region and headed for Monteverde. What a ride. 4 hours through nothing but mountains on a two lane road!!! I enjoyed the adventure, because the scenery is absolutely stunning. We stopped by a small school in Monteverde and the children sang and danced for and with us. This was an excellent opportunity to see our kids interacting with foreign students. I was so touched when I saw a group of our students heading for the bus. I asked, "where are you going?" and they replied "to the bus to get money to donate to this school. After that, we arrived at our hotel. Our afternoon plans got changed because our bus developed some problems. While the bus driver fixed the problems, we walked into the small town and shopped and relaxed. Tomorrow we are going to zip-line across the rainforrest and then go horseback riding. It is impossible to upload photos to this blog here for some reason, but I will do it when I get back. There are photos on my facebook though.
